Chapter 1148: Ridiculous. Not a Kind Soul

This guy who was shorter and the ugliest among the three guys spoke as he darted to the staircase to stop Yun Jian when he saw her going upstairs.

This was Duan Tianyou. He was this anxious upon seeing Lin Xiaochu being abducted because he liked her. Despite that, he ran over to stop Yun Jian because he knew that he was not adequately capable and had seen how skilled the latter was.

“Tianyou, this has nothing to do with her. She was already kind enough to help us tackle the outlaws in the inn just now. We’ll go save Xiaochu ourselves!”

Hu Qirui frowned. He had no idea how they were going to do that or where the bandits had taken Lin Xiaochu and Elisha to but he could see that Yun Jian was unwilling to get involved. After all, they were just passing travelers to Yun Jian; they merely came from the same home country as she did. There was no need for her to risk her safety for them. It was normal.

While Hu Qirui did not like Lin Xiaochu, it was impossible that he left after the latter was abducted with her whereabouts unknown since they came on this trip together. He was surely going to save the girl.

“Hu Qirui, have you lost your mind? Didn’t you see how intimidating those bandits were just now? They had a gun! Are we not on a suicide mission to go save her ourselves?”

Although Duan Tianyou liked Lin Xiaochu, he treasured his life more, so he growled at Hu Qirui. After that, he turned back to Yun Jian. “You killed so many of the bandits just now. Since you’re capable of it, why aren’t you going to rescue them?”

Duan Tianyou made it sound like it was a matter of course for Yun Jian to save his friend.

Yun Jian’s lips quirked upward when she heard Duan Tianyou’s righteous and entitling words. It was a mocking smirk that she wore.

She then flattened her lips and retorted, “I do have the ability to save her but why should I do it?”

This had nothing to do with her.

Yun Jian was not blindly nice. Even Elisha who was on a friendly talking term with her was abducted, she was not going to rescue her. She was not recklessly taking this risk when she would not be benefitting from the matter.

It was not that she was cruel. In her world—or perhaps as a secret agent, it was self-defense to stay out of trouble. Who would know if what happened today was a trap?

Yun Jian would never do something that would not benefit herself.

Rendered speechless by what Yun Jian said, Duan Tianyou was astounded. Yet because he was worried about Lin Xiaochu’s safety, he was only frozen for a moment before he continued replying to Yun Jian shamelessly, “Because we’re from Country Z! Your fellow countryman is in danger now and you’re watching her die when you’re capable of saving her! Why do people like you even exist in this world?”

Duan Tianyou argued anyway.

Yun Jian chuckled and retorted, copying what he said, “Why do shameless people like you exist in this world too?”

She paused and flicked her wrist, flashing the butterfly knife she had collected back from the dead bandit just now. She flicked the knife with ease and pointed the blade at Duan Tianyou, announcing arrogantly but deservingly so due to her ability, “Looks like you don’t mind losing your life to my knife. I’d gladly do the job then.”

Yun Jian was about to flick the knife and make the move when Duan Tianyou scrambled away to the side, shouting as if he was recalling how Yun Jian had killed those outlaws just now, “No, no—no! I’m wrong! I’m wrong! I won’t ask you to save her! I won’t ask you to save her!”
